IMPROVEMENT IN THE METHODS OF MAKING WIRES AND ARBORS 0F LOCK-WORK FOR STRIKING- CLOCKS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 215,759, dated May 27, 1879 application filed December 30, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREEDRIC A. LANE, of the city and county of New Haven, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Method of Making Wires and Arbors of Lock-Yvon for Striknig-Clocks, of which the following is a specification.

I11 the accoinpan yin g drawings, a front and side view are shown, respectively, at Figures 1 and 2.

The object of my invention is to furnish wires and arbors of lock-work that will be uniform and require little or no adjustment, and more perfectly fill the requirement than the Wires and arbors of lock-work in present use.

Heretofore wires and arbors of lock-work have been made of wire, requiring several pieces, drilling of holes, riveting, and separate adjustment of each part.

I stamp my Wires and arbors of 10ckwork from sheet metal, using an ordinary press,

with cutting-dies that correspond with the different sizes and varieties required. After be ing stamped out, the arms are bent and twisted into position.

The tenons or pivots a I) rest in the ordinary bearings provided in all clock plates or frames.

The uniformity and strength of wires and arbors of lock-work made as above described are apparent, and the parts are interchangeable without special adjustment to the particu- FREDERIC A. LANE.
